STARVING A JURY.

Harsh judicial Rule Rigidly Enforced In
Days Gone By.
Jurymen are better OFT in these times
than in the good old days when it was
the law to endeavor to starve them into
a verdict. 1t is bad enough now to be
put to loss of time and money. with lit
tie or inadequate recompense, without
being starved or fined into the bargain.
In the early part of the reign of Henry
VIII. Lord Chief-Justice Reed tried
an action when on circuit in which
the jury were locked up, but before
giving their verdict had eaten
and drank, which they all con-
fessed. This being reported to the
Judge he fined them each heavily and
took their verdict. In Hilary Term,
Sixth Henry VIII, the case came mp
before the full Court of Queens Bench
on joint motion to set aside the ver-
dict on the ground of informality of
trial, the jury having eaten, when they
should have tasted, and next remit the
fines under the peculiar circumstances
of the case. The jury averred that they
had made up their minds in the case
before they ate, and had returned into
court with verdict, but, finding the
Lulu Shlcl ilitu OuL W Stt u
fray" and not knowing when he might
come back, they had refreshment. The
court confirmed both the verdict and the
fines. In "Dycr's Reports" case is
reported of jury who retired to con-
slider their verdict, and when they came
back the bailiff informed the judge that
some of them (Which he could not de-
pose) had been feeding while locked
up. Both bailiff and jury were sworn,
and the pockets of the latter were ex-
amined, when it appeared that they all
had about them "pippins," of which
''some of them confessed they had eaten,
and the others said they had not" All
were severely reprimanded, and those
who had eaten were fined 12s. each,
and those who had not were fined 6s.
each, "for that they had them in their
pockets. AL The Year Round.
